About Jaime

Jaime Askew, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in California and has 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns. Jaime describes her work as creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

She helps people who are dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleeping and eating concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. Jaime also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her practice notes additional focus on attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and body image.

Jaime works directly on communication problems and codependency patterns. She talks with people about coping after separation or divorce and managing stress after natural or human-caused disasters. She also supports clients exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way.

Her approach aims to help clients identify practical, manageable steps. Sessions involve listening, reflecting, and planning small changes. Jaime emphasizes collaboration when setting goals and checking progress over time.

People looking for help with relationship repair, addiction recovery, or trauma recovery can expect straightforward conversations and concrete strategies. Jaime practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits

Jaime uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach involves structured conversations that identify patterns in thinking and behavior, then test small changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. This method helps with stress, mood problems, and coping with life changes.

Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care that pays attention to safety and pacing. This approach breaks difficult material into manageable steps and supports processing of traumatic or abusive experiences without rushing the work.

Finding the right approach is part of early sessions. Jaime works together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks progress and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce time spent traveling. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand a brief session and make it simpler to keep regular meetings across changes in location. Confirm available session options before scheduling.
